The next day, the sky was slightly bright in the early morning, and the cool breeze in the early morning blew through the fresh breeze of the earth, and the [***] sentry, who had been on guard all night, stretched his waist for a long time, and then yawned, and finally turned back to the trench, changed shifts with his comrades, and before he had time to eat breakfast, he threw himself into the trench and sat down in the trench with his back to the trench, and there was a heavy snoring sound after a while.

The devils did not launch a night attack or harass, and the 42nd Army also did not attack and harass the opposing army, because since the river crossing battle.

The officers and men of the 3rd and 2nd Divisions were exhausted and in dire need of rest, and after a night's rest, most of the officers and men had recovered their physical strength and energy.

At this time, all the cooking squads began to bury pots and cook at the rear of the position, and bursts of cooking smoke rose from the back of the entire position.

……

In the Zhengxian urban area, Major General Muto Akira got up early, and after washing up, he strode into the garrison headquarters.

In the headquarters, Nakajima Kawaji and Suzuki Ichi and others had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Muto Akira striding in, everyone got up one after another to show respect.

And Muto Zhang waved his hands to signal everyone to sit down, and after everyone sat down, Muto Zhang walked to the first place, did not sit down, Muto Zhang stood there, looked around at everyone, and then said: "Everyone, after a night's rest last night, the warriors of the imperial army have recovered their physical strength and spirit, and today we are going to launch the most fierce attack on the people of China, and deal a severe blow to this hateful 42nd Army that has repeatedly made the empire lose face." ”

"General! There is a saying that I don't know whether to say or not. Nakajima Kawaji stood up and came at this time.

"Nakajima-kun, if you have any questions, you can just say it!" Muto raised his eyebrows and gestured.

"Hay! Checkmate! At present, I would like to say that although the Imperial Army has a slight advantage in strength compared with the 42nd Group Army of the Chinese Army, it does not mean that we have sufficient strength to launch a conventional attack against the 42nd Group Army, and an offensive like yesterday will actually be unfavorable to us, and if we continue to fight like this, even if we are able to destroy the 42nd Group Army in the end, the losses of the Imperial Army will be greatly heavy! I mean, we are currently only able to encircle the 42nd Army within a radius of 10 kilometers from Huayuankou. But it's very difficult to annihilate it in an instant! Therefore, we can take a defensive position, and only need to surround the Chinese army at the entrance of the garden to prevent it from escaping. Nakajima Kawaji nodded abruptly.

"Hmmm! Yo West! Nakajima-kun, what you said is very pertinent, but as you said, this is just a regular offensive of the Imperial Army, and we can still use unconventional offensives! Muto Akira smiled slyly.

"The general means the use of chemical weapons?" Nakajima Kawaji said in surprise.

"Hmm!" Muto Zhang nodded with a smile and said: "How brave and good the Chinese army is, Zhang Mingyu is cunning, they are also people, as long as they inhale the mustard surname poison, they will die quickly!" ”

"Hay! What the general said is that we can use chemical weapons to defeat and annihilate the 42nd Army, the henchmen of the empire, and there is no need to talk about the Neiva Convention against them! Nakajima nodded abruptly in agreement.

"Nakajima-kun! Today's attack will be carried out by you personally commanding the 17th Division! Under the attack of the invincible chemical weapons of the Imperial Army, the people of China will be like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and your 17th Division will not need artillery shelling at all, and can directly rush up to collect the spoils. Muto Akira looked at Nakajima Kawaji meaningfully.

Nakajima Kawaji was overjoyed when he heard this, indeed, today's combat mission is simply a battle achievement for nothing, under the attack of chemical weapons, it is impossible for the Naka[***] people on the opposite side to have any more living people. His 17th Division could indeed rush directly to collect the loot.

Nakajima Kawa was very grateful to Muto Zhang for giving him this opportunity to make meritorious service for nothing, and immediately straightened his feet to Muto Zhang, and immediately said loudly: "Please rest assured!" This time, the people of China are very dead! ”

"Yo Xi! It's best to capture Zhang Mingyu alive, but I want to see what kind of person this person is, and how he can create so many miraculous battles on the Chinese battlefield. Muto Zhang nodded happily.

………

In the third division, on the position of the first regiment of the Lai Changqing Brigade, Liu Zheng, the elder of the cooking squad, and the soldiers of the cooking squad carried the prepared breakfast to the position and distributed it to the soldiers in the trenches one by one.

Just as most of the soldiers had already received breakfast and were sitting down in the trenches and began to devour them, a sharp burst of cannonballs suddenly sounded from the opposite side.

The regimental commander who was holding a piece of dry food and nibbling on it suddenly turned around, picked up the binoculars and looked ahead, and said: "Hey, his grandma's, no, this is the sound of the 92-type infantry gun, it seems to be a little wrong." "At this moment, two shells had already fallen on the bunker not far behind the commander of a regiment. But the shells did not explode.

The commander of the regiment looked back in surprise, and saw that a burst of black-brown liquid had begun to spread from the bodies of the two dumb shells, which had just splashed out and touched the air, and immediately turned into a light brown mist, and then these mists began to spread in all directions.

The head of the regiment opened his eyes so wide that the boss immediately shouted: "His grandmother's, the little devil's gas bomb!" Everyone immediately covered their mouths and noses with wet towels! The signal corps immediately reports to the brigade seat! Let him issue a gas mask right away! Hurry up! "As an iron-blooded veteran, I have fought hundreds of battles with little devils, and they are no strangers to devils' gas bombs.

The bones of the more than 9,000 brothers in Datong are not cold, how can they forget the tragic lesson of the poison gas bomb?

Fortunately, in addition to the commander of the first regiment, the officers and men of the first regiment have also learned how to guard against poison gas bombs, and naturally they also recognize poison gas bombs, and without waiting for the order of the commander of the first regiment to reach all companies and platoons of the regiment, all the officers and men have already taken anti-poison measures, although some soldiers did not get water, but they took out the crotch of their trousers and poured them on their towels for a while.

Brigade Headquarters of the 1st Brigade.

The communications soldier hurriedly ran into the headquarters of the first brigade with a towel in one hand, and Lai Changqing immediately stood up and said, "What's the matter?" What's wrong? ”

"Travel! The little devils fired gas bombs at our regimental positions, and the regimental seat begged for the distribution of gas masks quickly! The communications soldier took off the towel and panted.

"What? Gas bombs? Little devil of dog's house! Lai Changqing didn't have time to scold more, so he immediately opened his voice and shouted: "Chief of Staff, quickly distribute the gas masks to all regiments immediately!" Right away! Report back to the head office! Inform all other units to be prepared to guard against devil gas bombs. ”

"Yes!" The chief of staff of the 1st Brigade and the signal soldier agreed at the same time, and immediately turned around and left quickly.

…….

In the forward observation post of the 17th Division, Nakajima Kawaji and several subordinates held binoculars to close the opposite Zhong[***] position, and through the telescope, Nakajima Chuanji saw that almost all of his poison gas bombs had been fired into the position of the Zhong[***] team, and the light brown mist had filled the entire Zhong[***] position, and it was still spreading rapidly to its rear.

Seeing this, Nakajima Kawaji couldn't help but laugh proudly: "Yo Xi, this time the Chinese army is all dead, order the 47th Infantry Wing, prepare for the attack!" ”

"Hay!" A chief of staff next to him bowed his head suddenly, then quickly turned around and left, giving the order.

On the position of the 47th Infantry Wing, nearly 2,000 devil soldiers have all put on gas masks and have begun to enter the attack position.

Wing Commander of the 47th Infantry Wing, Mitsuo Sakai Osa, wearing a gas mask and holding a command knife, shouted hoarsely: "Warriors, rush! Rush up and kill the people of Hitsuchinaa and avenge the Imperial warriors of the 48th Infantry Wing! Kill! ”

"Rush! Kill Quack! ”

"Kill... Kill! All the devil soldiers suddenly screamed with extreme excitement as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and rushed towards the [***] position opposite.

On the position of a regiment, a battalion commander listened to the shouts of killing that were getting closer and closer, turned his head to the commander of the regiment and said, "Tuanzao, do you want to fight?" ”

The head of the regiment sorted out his gas mask, and said with an awe-inspiring expression: "Don't worry, the little devil is fucking crazy this time, he didn't even have a tentative attack, let alone an artillery bomb, and directly launched a group charge against us, it seems that they think that we have already been poisoned by their gas bombs, so we can't help but use it." Order the companies, don't shoot without an order! ”

"Yes!" The battalion commander snapped forward, and immediately turned to continue lurking.

At this time, Sakai Mitsuo Daisa rushed to the front brandishing a command sword, shouting long live the emperor and other birds in his mouth, and was storming towards a group.

After charging to a position less than 500 meters away from a regiment, the [***] position on the opposite side still did not fire a shot, and there was a dead silence, and the devils of the 47th Infantry Wing suddenly shouted more happily, and a captain opened his throat and shouted: "The people of the branch have all died and worked, and the warriors are killing Gaga!" ”

However, when they howled and rushed to less than two hundred and fifty meters away from a mass of positions, they could already see the bunkers above the [***] positions through the slightest mist. But the [***] position on the opposite side was still unmoving.

This strengthened the thoughts of the devils, and the people of China were all dead. So, Sakai Mio Daisaku once again brandished his command knife and rushed towards a group of positions with his loyal subordinates.

When Sakai Mio Daisa and his subordinates rushed to the [***] position less than 100 meters away, seeing that they were about to rush into the trenches of [***], suddenly a sudden change occurred, and with a thunderous roar: "Hit me!" ”

A group of masked human heads suddenly appeared in the [***] trenches, which had just been empty, and these masked [***] soldiers were like life-seeking Yamas from hell.

I couldn't help but say that he fired fiercely at the devil soldiers who had already rushed to him, "Da Da Da... Suddenly..."A dense and powerful network of firepower suddenly enveloped the devil's head.

The ghost soldiers who were charging suddenly fell down in pieces like cutting wheat, and Sakai Mio Osaku suddenly changed color, and immediately exclaimed: "Yaga Yalu!" The people of China are cunning and dripping! Retreat, retreat, retreat! Fast! ”

The stunned devil soldiers suddenly swarmed backwards like a tide, and the commander of the regiment grabbed a Czech light machine gun and jumped out of the trench and shouted: "Brothers, kill me!" Kill! Kill these little devils! Come on! ”

"Kill... Kill! The soldiers suddenly roared in unison, jumped out of the trench and followed the commander of the regiment to chase and beat the devil fiercely.

At the forward observation post of the 17th Division, Nakashima Kawaji heard the sudden outbreak of fierce gunfire, and his left eyelid jumped, and an ominous premonition arose.

After about ten minutes, the fierce gunfire became more and more intense, and Nakajima Kawaji saw a scene from the telescope that made him collapse, and the imperial warriors who had just been charging with great courage and courage were now driven back like sheep by a group of Chinese soldiers wearing gas masks.

The 47th Infantry Wing, which had high hopes for itself, was routed and defeated in less than half an hour.

"Yaga Tooth Road! What kind of work does Mitsuo Sakai do! This will cause such a situation! Order the machine gun squadron! Fire! Stop the pursuit of the Chinese army! Nakajima Kawaji roared angrily.

……….

In Zheng County, it is called the Army Garrison Headquarters.

Akira Muto, Ichichi Suzuki and others were playing a game calmly, watching chess, waiting for the good news of the 17th Division, when Lieutenant General Nakajima Kawaji walked in with a black face.

Muto Akira saw that Nakajima Kawaji's face was wrong, so he immediately stood up and asked, "Nakajima-kun, how is it?" Is the war going well? ”

"Muto-kun! Our attack failed, and the 47th Infantry Wing, which was the main attacker, suffered more than half of the casualties. Nakajima Kawaji said a little decadently.

"What? How is this possible? Didn't the people of China be knocked down by our chemical weapons? Akira Muto obviously couldn't believe such a result.

"Muto-kun! The Chinese army has a full set of gas masks, and our chemical weapons did not cause them any damage at all, on the contrary, they feigned heavy losses and secretly laid an ambush, which led to an ambush and heavy losses for our main offensive wing! Nakajima Kawaji roared loudly as his emotions were a little out of control.

"Yaga! The people of China actually have a full set of anti-poison equipment, hateful people! Since chemical weapons can't help them, then order aviation to bomb them! Let the hateful people of China taste the power of our great Emperor Army's aerial bombs! Muto Akira said angrily.
